A pre-hearing conference on the disposition the Ojai Playhouse theater was inconclusive Aug. 9, but not without some suggestion that lawyers representing Golden State Water Company (GSWC) might be considering a possible resolution.

Held in Los Angeles, the conference had been called on relatively short notice, pursuant to a formal complaint filed by the city of Ojai, requesting the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) investigate the status of renovations to the 100-year-old theater, damaged in July 2014 by a water main break.
